Robert Campbell 1828 = Brick Wall, any help greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'd appreciate any help with suggests for the birth place of my relative Robert Campbell.

This is from the 1891 Census and Ancestry.com interpret it as Leunrick, Scotland. But I can't find any such place. My guess is Lerwick, but I'd appreciate any help as I am unable to move forward with researching this branch of my tree.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm hoping that someone may have information on my relative Robert Campbell born 1828.

Most census returns 1851 + Have his birthplace as Scotland and on the 1891 it states Leunrick, Scotland. Although I cannot find a place name similar in Scotland.

He was married to Jane Stockdale in 1858 and was an iron stone miner in Eston for most of his life.

I have a copy of his marriage certificate and his father is Charles Campbell a farmer.

I'm struggling to find his birth certificate, 1841 census information, etc.

Any help, advise, pointers in where to look next would be appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat 

I would be inclined to go with Lerwick.  Have you found Robert on any other census records which show his birthplace?

I can't see it being anywhere other than Lerwick.

Or, as a local would say, Lerrr-wick.

That's brilliant, I will follow this and see where it takes me. Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks for the name suggestions. I will look into these. I also posted on the handwriting section and a couple of people think it's actually Lerwick. Please see sample form 1891 census attached.
